Purpose of this Course

DOC/705R is an integral step in the ACCESS (Advancing Community, Critical Thought, Engagement, Scholarship, and Success) sequence and the first residency course in the School of Advanced Studies doctoral curriculum. The purpose of the course is to establish a theoretical and practical framework for students to become creative scholar-practitioner-leaders and to continue the process of personal and professional transformation. The purpose of ongoing adult transformation is to be prepared for the unknown, unexpected, and ambiguous in leadership challenges (Heifetz 2009, Martin, 2010). Through face-to-face interaction with faculty and peers, students engage in a rare opportunity to respectfully experience and explore many different perspectives (epistemological and ontological positions) and collaborate in questioning habitual patterns of thinking and meaning-making that arise from individual socialization. Understanding different perspectives leads to deep exploration of native egocentrism, sociocentrism, individual situatedness, meaning-making, interaction patterns, and personal goals for transforming self and world.

Exploring the strengths and limitations of individual and group perspectives prepares students for the design lab portion of the residency. During the design lab, students integrate critical and creative thinking by exploring the principles and practices of design thinking. An in-depth application of design thinking will equip students with knowledge and skills that can be applied to their critical inquiry skills as part of all their future research endeavors.
